The Citadel served as the city's focal point and a defensive fortification against the imposing heights of the hills that overshadowed it. For 700 years, the Citadel served as the official residence of the Egyptian government.

Upper Egypt Region

Luxor, Qena, and Sohag are significant cities in Egypt with rich historical and cultural sites. Luxor, on the site of ancient Thebes, is home to the Luxor and Karnak Temples and the royal tombs of the Valley of the Kings and Queens. Qena is known for the Dendera Temple of Hathor, one of the best-preserved temples in Egypt, and the Abdel Rehim AL Qenawi Mosque. Sohag, a major Coptic Christian area, features the Sohag National Museum, the White Monastery, and the Deir al-Ahmar monastery.
